The Alley Restaurant & Bar

My family and I are from Tucson and were visiting Newport recently. My husband and I were able to sneak away for dinner and drinks one night of our vacation and this is the spot we found. I couldn’t have been more pleased and delighted with the service, atmosphere and the FOOD!! It was so amazing that we went again the next night as well and second time was just as perfect as the first! Altogether we tried: the swordfish with pilaf and veggies (amazing!), steak and asparagus (amazing!), veal piccata (aaaammmaazing!!), twice-baked potatoes (amazing and huge!), and crab cakes (AMAZING!!). In addition to the delicious food and generous portions, the staff was particularly pleasant, especially the bartender. Can’t wait to go back to Newport and this place!!

The Alley was one of the highlights of our trip to New Port Beach. With just steps away from our condo, my wife and I were able to sneak away from the kids a couple of nights during our stay and the food, service, and atmosphere were top notch. The bartender Stanton was awesome, he gave really great tips about the area and he made sure our drinks and stomachs were full.

Yummmmmm!!!! Food - DELICIOUS!!! Asparagus soup is AMAZING!!! Burgers are soooo tasty, artichoke is perfection prime Rib, mac&cheese, Salads, honestly just about everything. Staff is always friendly & attentive, mellow but fun place if you're just drinking, outdoor patio awesome with pups, enclosed patio awesome to watch sports. They always have weekly specials too! An absolute win of a spot!

I ordered the special prime rib, medium rare, I needed a chainsaw to cut thru it...

Crème brûlée and crab cakes were amazing!

As hounds who loves nothing more than a good outing to The Alley in Newport Beach, we can confidently bark about the pawsome experience it offers. The Pups on the Patio menu is like a smorgasbord of tail-wagging delights, with treats and snacks that cater to both human and canine palates. Woof!!! But what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. The servers, manager, and owner are like a pack of devoted pals, always ready with a scratch behind the ears or a hearty belly rub. It’s a place where dogs like us feel not just welcomed, but truly cherished. A woof-worthy experience, indeed!
